A systematic review of dual plating for acute midshaft clavicle fractures; Treatment of acute distal biceps tendon ruptures; Rotator cuff tendinopathy: disability associated with depression rather than pathology severity; Coonrad-Morrey total elbow arthroplasty implications in young patients with post-traumatic sequelae.

The use of robotics in arthroplasty surgery is expanding rapidly as improvements in the technology evolve. This article examines current evidence to justify the usage of robotics, as well as the future potential in this emerging field.

The October 2015 Trauma Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: PCA not the best in resuscitation; Impact of trauma centre care; Quality of life after a hip fracture; Recovery and severity of injury: open tibial fractures in the spotlight; Assessment of the triplane fractures; Signs of an unstable paediatric pelvis; Safe insertion of SI screws: are two views required?; Post-operative delirium under the spotlight; Psychological effects of fractures; K-wires cost effective in DRAFFT

In a decidedly upper limb themed series of reviews this edition of Cochrane Corner summarises four new and updated reviews published by the Cochrane Bone, Joint and Muscle Trauma Group over the last few months. The tenacious reviewers at the Cochrane collaboration have turned their beady eyes to conservative treatments for shoulder dislocations and clavicle fractures along with evaluation of femoral nerve blocks in knee replacement and how to best manage entrapment injuries in children.

The June 2013 Foot & Ankle Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: soft-tissue pain following arthroplasty; pigmented villonodular synovitis of the foot and ankle; ankles, allograft and arthritis; open calcaneal fracture; osteochondral lesions in the longer term; severe infections in diabetic feet; absorbable first ray fixation; and showering after foot surgery.
